Hi Jerry, Those voltage regulators are used in later MGBs and TRs and are
usually mounted on the back of one of the larger instruments.
I have used mid year range MGB fuel gauges (without any voltage regulator)
in BJ8s and they work very well with the original sender. Because they use a
bi-metalic strip system rather than the electro magnet they don't suffer
from the wibbly wobblies that the Healey ones do and they look almost
identical although the needle is thicker; something that can be improved
with judicious use of a magic marker!!!

Subject: [Healeys] Odd fuel gauge
I am working on a late BJ8 (1967). MOMA just called about the fuel gauge.
I
had sent it to her because it was not working. She said it was an odd gauge
that she does not see very often. The range is 20 -200 ohms and the code is
BF . The other Healeys have a SG gauge. Margaret said that the BFs
require
a voltage regulator of some type. The sending unit is also different.
So: Are there others of these gauges out there?
If so, what sending unit did you use?
What type of voltage regulator is used? (Margaret said it is about 1 inch
by
1/2 inch but she never sees this on Healeys)
???
A puzzle
Jerry
